Baby's On Fire Lyrics - Singles - Brian Eno

Baby's on fire 

Better throw her in the water 

Look at her laughing 

Like a heifer to the slaughter 

Baby's on fire 

And all the laughing boys are bitching 

Waiting for photos 

Oh the plot is so bewitching 

Rescuers row row 

Do your best to change the subject 

Blow the wind blow blow 

Lend some assistance to the object 

Photographers snip snap 

Take your time she's only burning 

This kind of experience 

Is necessary for her learning 

If you'll be my flotsam 

I could be half the man I used to 

They said you were hot stuff 

And that's what baby's been reduced to 

Juanita and Juan 

Very clever with maracas 

Making their fortunes 

Selling secondhand tobacco's 

Juan dances at Chico's 

And when the clients are evicted 

He empties the ashtrays 

And pockets all that he's collected 

But baby's on fire 

And all the instruments agree that 

Her temperature's rising 

But any idiot would know that
